Readiness for mobilization supposes three
principal preparations made beforehand in
time Of peace; first, for filling up regiments
and corps to war strength with men armed
and trained; second, for provision Of horses
and stores without delay and without stint:
third, for having the horses and storSs ex-
actly where they are needed-namely, wnere-
ever the unit which is to use them is to be
modified. As an example, take the great
war of 1870. The Prussian regiments for
first line were all mobilized in from seven to
eleven days, and this means that they were
in perfect readiness TO march and in full
possession Of their horses, carriages, spare
ammunition and so on.
The French, on the contrary, though they
had in existence all that was required, had
it not in the right place; so that immense
confusion resulted and the army was not
even ready for defense when the Germans
were already concentrated for attack on the
French frontier. Yet France had declared
war and ought to have had a good start
The German Landwehr was ready little
later, being fully modified in from ten to
fifteen days Improvements since made
eirable the German cavalry to be ready al
most instantly, and 500 battalions within
seven days, followed by 800 more on the
eighth or ninth day. In other words, little
more than a week would elapse before a
force of nearly 9OO, 900, with full proportion
of artillery, would be completely ready and
provided with every necessity for a cam
paign, including horses. And all this
efficiency is combined with strict economy,
because Germany is a military nation
